Community Tasting Note

  • drdan8 wrote: 92 points

    October 2, 2021 - Extremely well crafted and enjoyable... but I question the tariff on these wines. You can consume a Pulido, Bevan, Morgado, or Peter Michael for 60 percent less money and still enjoy the same premium experience.

    Removed from a 54 degree active cabinet and let slow ox for 1 hour. Inviting nose of dark cherry, blueberry preserves, and menthol. Slight browning to the rim on pour. Fruit still well apparent but slowly fading to the background. Not much secondary characteristic here as I was hoping for. Was anticipating some umami, mushroom, truffle essence... Albeit dissapointed.

    Tannin is resolved....and the wine shows a silky/seamless texture. Just expected more for the price point. When dropping this type of coin... I would much prefer Colgin.

Or better, a few more years in the cellar. Since I have 2 I will be killing one early. Stay tune for my tasting notes....
